A  GUARANTEE 

THIS  GUARANTEE  MEANS  SOME¬ 
THING  TO  YOU,  MR.  PAINT  BUYER 

1007  PURE 


All  materials  are  put  through  chemical  and  micro¬ 
scopic  tests.  The  chemist  is  very  particular  as  to  what 
is  used.  All  material  must  come  up  to  our  standard. 
This  branch  of  the  work  is  overseen  by  our  chemical 
expert.  Or.  H.  B.  Eigelberner.  This  is  why  we  can 
guarantee  the  100  per  cent  purity  of  every  can  of 
Tower  Brand  Paint. 


The  word  pure,  according  to  the  20th  Century 
dictionary,  means  “free  from  contact  with  that 
which  weakens,  or  pollutes;  contains  no  foreign 
material;  tree  from  adulteration.”  When  we  6ay 
our  paint  is  100  per  cent  pure,  we  mean  there  is 
nothing  in  it  that  will  in  any  way  pollute  or 
weaken  the  paint.  The  mixing  lias  a  great  deal  to 
do  with  the  purity  of  our  paint.  With  our  modem 
machinery  we  ure  able  to  mix  the  different  in¬ 
gredients  thoroughly.  It  is  u  very  simple  matter 
for  any  person  to  buy  the  different  parts  that  go 
to  make  up  our  pure  paint.  But  do  you  imagine  for 
one  minute  that  he  could  mix  them  as  thoroughly 
as  our  modern  machinery?  And  aguin,  are  you  sure 
that  vou  are  getting  pure,  sublimed  white  lead,  and 
pure  linseed  oil  ?  Can  you  test  them  so  as  to  he  able 
totell  the  difference  between  the  pure  and  the 
adulterated  ?  We  have  expert,  long-experienced 
chemists  who  perform  th  is  work  for  us.  They  watch 
every  step  in  the  process  of  manufacture.  They 
are  your  guides  and  safeguards.  It  is  through  their 
watchfulness  that  Tower  Brand  Paint  is  always 
100  per  cent  pure. 

Montgomery  Ward  &  Co.  advocated  the  use  of 
paint  years  ago.  In  our  Tower  Brand  we  have 
aint  that  is  guaranteed  to  be  absolutely  100  per 
,  pure.

it  will  be  well  worth  your  while  to  read

of  this  broad,  liberal,  binding  guarantee. 
Study  all  the  different  details.  Learn 
the  different  parts  of  Pure  Paint  so 
that  you  may  know  why  we  are  justi¬

points  necessary  to  distinguish  a  pure  paint. 
We  tell  you  exactly  of  what  our  100%  Pure  Paint

thatit  is  absolutely  correct.  Weshowwhvourpaiut  will

as  it  is  the  whole  secret  of  why  you  should  use  Pure

and  soul  of  our  guarantee.  If  we  could  not  say  this, 
our  guarantee  would  be  without  weight. 

But  we  wish  to  emphasize  these  points  and  make  it 
clear  that  unless  we  do  all  we  guarantee,  we  will  give 
new  paint  free  of  charge.  Think  what  this  means  to 
you.  You  cannot  afford  to  miss  a  word  of  it.  When 
using  or  buying  paint  you  should  always  keep  this  in 
mind,  that  no  guarantee  could  be  stronger,  or

In  tho  mnnuforture  of  pure  paint  it  Is  necessary  to 
uso  pure  United  oil,  puro  gum  turpontine  and  puro 
Japan  dryer.  The  linseed  oil  forms  a  skin  around 
each  particle  of  solid  mattor  and  binds  them  together. 
The  turpentine  is  used  as  a  thinner,  which  gives  tho 
cr.int  a  free  and  eaay  flow,  and  the  Japan  dryer  causes 
the  paint  to  dry  rapidly.

NO  OTHER  PAINT  GUARANTEE  IN  THE 
WORLD  IS  AS  STRONG  AS  THIS  ONE 


You  no  doubt  have  read  a  great  many 
guarantees  of  paint, but  do  you  think  that 

there  is  any  guarantee  in  the  world  as  strong  as  this 
one  ?  We  show  you  step  by  step  the  different  in¬ 
gredients  that  go  to  make  up  our  Pure  Paint. 
After  reading  these  pages  you  will  know  why  it 
is  better  to  use  sublimed  white  lead  than  corroded 
white  lead.  You  will  know  that  too  much  of  zinc 
oxide  injures  the  paint  rather  than  helps  it,  and 
that  our  chemists  guide  you  in  seeing  that  just 
enough  and  no  more  is  added.  You  will  know 
that  the  use  of  pure  linseed  oil  instead  of  substitutes 
makes  the  paint  stronger  and  smoother.  A  great 
many  paint  manufacturers,  as  we  will  show,  use 
cheap,  inferior  substitutes,  which  i3  nothing  more  nor 
less  than  adulterated  linseed  oil.  It  is  the  use  of 
inferior  material  and  unequal  proportions  that  makes  paint 
crack,  blister  and  peel  off.  We  show  you  why  it  is  better  to  use 
pure  turpentine  and  pure  Japan  dryer.  Our  guarantee  is  just  as 
safe,  just  as  dependable,  as  a  United  States  government  bond. 

Years  ago,  when  the  market  was  full  of  substitutes,  Mont¬ 
gomery  Ward  &  Co.  stood  out  for  pure  articles.  Just  to 
refresh  your  memory,  look  back  at  some  of  our  old  catalogues. 
You  will  note  that  we  were  among  the  first  to  make  and  advo¬ 
cate  the  use  of  Pure  Paint.  We  did  not  do  this  simply 
became  the  public  asked  for  it;  we  started  long  before  they 
ever  seriously  thought  about  it.  It  is  not  our  policy  to 
wait  until  the  public  demands  an  article,  but  to  get 
to  the  point  where  the  public  looks  to  us  to  decide  what 
they  should  demand.  "We  have  created  a  demand  for  pure 
paint.  The  only  difference  between  now  and  then  is  that 
to-day,  with  the  help  of  experiments  and  tests,  we  have 
perfected  a  paint  that  we  not  only  guarantee  to  be 
absolutely  pure  but  guarantee  it  will  do  the  work  exactly 
as  we  have  stated,  and  therefore  we  can  safely  say  that  our 
guarantee  is  the  strongest  in  the  world.

Think  what  this  means  to  you,  Mr.  Paint  Buyer. 
Imagine  how  much  less  quantity  you  will  have  to 
buy  in  order  to  paint  your  property.  There  will 
be  not  only  a  saving  of  quant  ity,  but  also  a  saving 
of  time.  Our  paint  has  a  smooth  and  easy  flow, 
that  makes  painting  a  pleasure  instead  of  un 
effort. 

When  we  tell  you  that  our  paint  will  cover  300 
to  350  square  feet  you  may  depend  upon  the  accu¬ 
racy  of  our  statement.  As  an  actual  test,  we  have 
painted  a  surface,  400  square  feet  in  dimensions, 
two  coats,  with  one  gallon  of  our  Tower  Brand  1UO 
per  cent  Pure  House  Paint.  This  test  was 
performed  on  our  own  property. 

Sublimed  White  Lead  and  Linseed  Oil  in  the 
proper  proportions  give  this  great  covering  cnpac 
lty.  These  ingredients  when  properly  combined, 
and  mixed,  give  a  smoother,  freer  flow  to  the 
paint.  They  cause  greater  elasticity  and  at 
the  same  time  strengthen  the  paint.  On 
the  whole,  don’t  you  think  that  a  paint 
with  the  covering  capacity  of  ours,  coupled 
with  the  strong  guarantee  of  the  materif* 
it  contains,  is  one  that  you  should  use?  The  prl

page  are  reproduced  irom  actual

were  performed  by  our  chemists. 


Photograph  of  a  surface  fainted  with 
lOO  <  Pure  Paint.  This  picture  was  taken 
after  the  surface  had  been  exposed  about 
five  years.  Note  smoothness  of  surface. 


This  surface  was  painted  with  about  25 
per  cent  sublimed  white  lead  and  75  per 
cent  zinc  oxide.  Note  cracking.  This  is 
due  to  excessive  use  of  zinc  oxide.  Our 
chemist  protects  you  against  this  cracking, 
as  he  watches  carefully  to  see  that  just 
enough  and  no  more  zinc  oxide  is  added. 


Section  showing  the  penetration  of  wood 
pores  by  SUBLIMED  WHITE  LEAD.  This 
photograph  i9  magnified  GO  diameters.  Our 
Tower  Brand  Paint  will  not  peel  off  or 
blister,  because  it  not  only  adheres  to  the 
surface,  but  penetrates  the  wood  itsdf. 
Traces  of  Sublimed  White  Lead  have  been 
found  in  wood  long  after  it  has  rotted  away. 


The  chemist  accepts  sublimed  white  lead 
because  of  its  superiority.  In  tests,  it  Iras 
shown  that  it  will  not  become  affected  by 
hydrogen  sulphide  gas,  which  is  plentiful 
in  smoke,  sewer  gas.  and  in  decaying  ani¬ 
mal  •or  vegetable  matter.  It  has  no  chem¬ 
ical  action  on  the  oil.  and  therefore 
does  not  shorten  the  life  of  the  paint.  The 
fineness  of  sublimed  white  lead  enables  it 
to  be  mixed  more  easily  and  prevents  cak¬ 
ing  in  cans.  It  is  non-poisonous. 

He  accepts  XX  New  Jersey  zinc  oxide 
because  it  is  the  best  known  material  that 
will  perform  its  functions.  It  is  free  from 
impurity,  is  not  poisonous,  and  builds  up 
life  of  the  paint. 

He  accepts  linseed  oil  because  it  forms 
a  skin  which  holds  the  pigments  together, 
thus  assuring  a  smooth  and  lasting  sur¬ 
face.  Also,  the  pure  material  i9  better  able 
to  perform  its  functions  than  any  adulter¬ 
ations. 

He  accepts  gum  turpentine  because  of  Its 
purity.  It  is  tapped  from  the  pine  tree  and 
treated  as  you  would  maple  syrup.  It  is 
received  by  us  and  used  in  this  pure  state. 

He  accepts  Japan  Dryer  because  it  in¬ 
sures  uniformity  and  proper  drying,  with¬ 
out  detriment  to  the  life  of  the  paint.  It 
increases  the  gloss  and  firmness,  and  in¬ 
creases  the  moisture-resisting  surface  of 
the  paint  coat. 


Our  Materials  are  the  Only  Ones 

That  Justify  Us  in  Giving  so  Strong  a  Guarantee 

Our  chemist  has  labored  many  years  testing  and  experimenting  with  different  paint  in¬ 
gredients.  Ho  has  finally  demonstrated  to  his  entire  satisfaction  that  the  ingredients  we  now 
use  are  the  best.  If  we  were  to  use  any  other  material  we  would  be  unable  to  give  a  guar¬ 
antee  as  strong  or  binding  as  this  one. 

What  would  happen  if  we  were  to  use  pigments  other  than  sublimed  white  lead,  many  of 

them  not  only  being  inferior  for  paint  purposes,  but  also  less  expensive.  The  results  would 
he  that  the  paint  would  not  possess  the  same  fineness,  beauty  of  finish,  easy  working  qual¬ 
ities,  covering  capacity  and  thorough  incorporation  of  the  pigment  and  vehicle  that  enables 
the  paint  to  penetrate  the  wood  thoroughly  giving  a  smooth  and  lasting  job.  The  paint  would 
become  brittle,  crack  and  rub  off  or  else  scale,  because  of  results  of  chemical  action  char¬ 
acteristic  to  such  pigments,  or  it  would  be  subject  to  losing  its  lustre  and  become  discolored, 
as  the  result  of  fuel  or  other  gases  common  In  the  atmosphere. 

Our  chemist  finds  that  using  any  brand  of  zinc  oxide  other  than  XX  New  Jersey  brand 
is  injurious  to  the  life  and  strength  of  the  paint.  It  causes  the  paint  to  become  hard,  brittle 
and  often  'crack  off.  It  takes  away  the  strength  of  the  sublimed  white  lead.  It  also  was 
found  to  contain  material  that  affected  the  strength  of  the  linseed  oil.  the  general  result 
being  less  covering  power  than  in  the  XX  New  Jersey  zinc  oxide. 

There  is  no  greater  function  of  the  chemist  than  to  see  that  pure  linseed  oil  is  used.  If 
a  substitute  is  used,  he  can  detect  it  at  once,  because  a  substitute  of  pure  linseed  oil  is 
nothing  more  nor  less  than  diluted  linseed  oil.  Diluted  linseed  oil  will  naturally  not  per¬ 
form  the  duty  it  is  supposed  to  as  well  as  the  Pure  Linseed  Oil.  The  skin  film  which  is 

formed  will  not  be  so  lasting,  and  the  sublimed  white  lead  and  XX  New  Jersey  zinc  oxide 
will  not  be  bound  together  so  firmly.  This  produces  a  paint  that  will  not  adhere  to  the  wood. 
It  will  also  chalk,  and  above  all.  its  use  materially  lessens  the  covering  capacity  of  the  paint, 
as  the  flow  is  not  so  free  and  easy. 

Pure  gum  turpentine  is  one  of  the  important  parts  of  100  per  cent  pure  paint.  Our  chem¬ 
ist  is  verv  careful  to  see  that  no  substitutes  are  used,  as  they  detract  from  the  value  of  the 
pigments.  Its  action  in  paint  is  to  produce  a  free  and  easy  flow.  Many  manufacturers  use 

what  is  known  as  wood  turpentine.  This  is  made  from  the  stumps  of  trees,  after  the  pure 

turpentine  has  been  drawn  off.  It  has  a  very  obnoxious  odor,  and  is  easily  detected  when 
used.  It  cannot  possibly  give  as  good  results  as  the  pure  material. 

Last  but  by  far  not  the  least,  is  the  Japan  Dryer.  The  substitutes  of  this  important  mate¬ 
rial  are  many,  some  being  extremely  poisonous.  Many  of  the  substitutes  are  merely  resinous 
compounds  made  by  adding  resin  and  acids  to  the  original  to  make  it  cheaper.  It  is  ex¬ 
tremely  important  to  have  the  paint  dry  properly  and  uniformly  without  detriment  to  the  life 
of  the  paint  and  to  insure  this  Japan  Dryer  is  selected  with  the  greatest  care. 

Our  chemist  guides  and  protects  you  in  the  kind  of  material  used  in  our  Tower  Brand 
Pure  Paint.  He  knows  the  functions  and  properties  of  each  part  used  in  its  mixture.  He 
discards  those  that  would  pollute  the  mixture  in  any  way  and  casts  them  aside,  since  there  is 
no  room  for  impure  materials  in  the  make-up  of  our  Tower  Brand  Pure  Paint.  We  give  too 
strong  a  guarantee  to  take  chances  on  using  any  substitute,  and  the  only  material  we  dare 
use  must  be  the  purest  and  best.  The  chemist  watches  over  this  at  all  timea  Every  order 
placed  for  materials  to  be  used  in  the  mixing  of  our  paint  must  be  examined  and  tested  before 
it  is  allowed  to  be  placed  in  our  store  rooms.  For  this  reason  we  are  able  to  give  our  guar¬ 
antee.  Without  the  utmost  care  and  vigilance  in  the  finest  detail  of  our  mixing  process  we 
could  not  give  such  a  strong  guarantee.  With  the  care  and  close  attention  we  give  to  guard 
the  purity  of  our  paint,  we  are  willing  to  challenge  the  world.

This  surface  was  painted  with  corroded 
white  lead  and  cheaper  brands  of  zinc 
oxide.  Photograph  was  taken  after  six 
months’  wear.  Note  the  cracking.  There 
is  alsoi  a  discoloration,  owing  to  the  effect 
of  gases  that  arise  from  sewerage  and  de- 
paying  vegetable  matter. 


This  photograph  was  taken  three  years 
later,  from  the  same  surface  as  the  one 
above.  Note  the  cracking  and  “shriveling- 
up”  of  the  paint.  The  discoloring  has  be¬ 
come  very  pronounced.  You  will  also  note 
that  the  surface  has  become  bare  in  spots. 


Taken  5  years  later  from  the  original 
surface  used  in  above  photos.  You  will  note 
that  parts  of  surface  are  completely  bare. 
The  paint  has  not  only  cracked  and  peeled 
off,  but  in  some  places  just  dropped  off 
entirely.  The  wood  has  begun  to  turn  black, 
and  traces  of  rot  are  found. _ 

He  rejects  corroded  white  lead,  because 
it  will  not  perform  the  duties  that  are  de¬ 
pendent  upon  it.  It  will  turn  black  when 
it  comes  in  contact  with  hydrogen  sulphide 
gas.  It  acts  upon  the  oil.  which  is  the  life 
of  the  paint,  thereby  destroying  the  full 
value  of  the  paint.  Because  of  the  acid 
in  corroded  white  lead,  it  has  an  effect 
upon  the  tinting  colors,  causing  them  to 
change.  Lastly,  it  is  of  a  poisonous  nature. 

He  rejects  other  brands  because  of  their 
impurities.  They  have  not  been  perfected 
ns  yet.  They  are  poisonous,  and  tend  to 
take  away  life  and  hiding  capacity  of  paint. 

He  rejects  adulterated  oils  or  gloss  oils, 
because  they  contain  resinous  compounds. 
They  become  affected  by  heat,  do  not  hold 
the  pigments  together  and  lessen  the  cover¬ 
ing  capacity. 

He  rejects  wood  turpentine  because  it  is 
not  pure.  It  is  made  from  stumps  of  trees, 
cut  up  and  boiled;  also  from  sawdust  and 
shavings.  Its  process  is  similar  to  that  of 
corn  syrup  or  hickory  bark  syrup.  It  also 
has  a  very  bad  odor. 

He  rejects  resinous  compounds  because 
they  do  not  possess  the  proper  drying 
qualities.  They  soften  the  pigments  and 
prove  a  detriment  to  the  life  of  the  paint.

TESE  pictures  were  taken 
in  our  lactory.  They  show 
lour  of  the  important  steps 
in  the  process  of  making  "Tower 
Brand  ”  10  0  %  Pure  Paint. 


Mixing  Tower  Brand  Paint 


Our  Process  is  the  Only  One  That 
Will  Make  Paint  Which 
We  Can  Guarantee. 

A  Chemist  Guards  Every  Step  in 
the  Making  of  Tower  Brand  Paint 

This  is  Absolutely  Necessary  in  the  Making  of  Paint  that 
Can  be  Guaranteed  as  we  do  Tower  Brand 

MACHINERY  that  is  perfect,  methods  that  are  perfect, 
processes  that  are  perfect,  will  do  100  per  cent  per¬ 
fect  work— IF  the  materials  are  perfect  and  IF  the 
men  running  the  machines— the  workmen— are  perfect. 

Now  we  KNOW  that  our  machinery  for  making  Tower  Brand 
Paint  is  perfect— the  best  that  is  made— because  our  ma- 

chines  are  the  net  result  of  generation  after  generation  of  paint  making.  We 
KNOW  that  our  process  is  perfect— recognized  to  be  the  best  in  use  today— 
or  else  we  could  not  afford  to  make  our  binding  guarantee.  We  KNOW  the 
materials  in  Tower  Brand  Paint  are  perfect  —  because  we  prepare  them  in 
our  own  factory  and  buy  them  from  reliable  manufacturers  that  guarantee 
their  products.  But  WHO  can  say  that  MEN  are  perfect  -that  human  hands 
will  not  err  ?  NO  ONE.  BUT  here  is  what  we  CAN  ao — we  CAN  and  DO  employ  one  of  the  most 
expert  paint  chemists  in  the  land!  THIS  MAN  GUARDS  EVERY  SINGLE  STEP  THAT  IS 
TAKENIN  THE  PROCESS  OF  MAKING  TOWER  BRAND  PAINT!  THEN,  when  onceina  great  while 
a  man  in  the  paint  factory  makes  a  mistake,  quick  as  a  flash  that  error  is  CAUGHT!  The  chemist 
with  never  ceasing  vigil — with  eye  and  brain  that  penetrates  to  the  innermost  depth  of  each  step  in 
the  science  of  paint  making— at  once  sees  the  SLIGHTEST  ERROR.  HE  knows  who  MADE  it. 

He  knows  WHY  that  error  was  made.  He  knows  how  to  REMEDY  it — IT  WILL  NEVER  HAP¬ 
PEN  AGAIN— because  workmen  in  the  Tower  Brand  factory  are  allowed  just  one  mistake.  When 
a  man  makes  his  second  mistake  he  GOES!  Thus  through  this  process  of  paint  making,  the  chemist 
guards  each  step.  Mistakes  there  are — but  few— because  the  workmen  are  skilled  and  expert.  But 
NEVER  does  a  mistake  get  out  of  the  shop.  NEVER  is  a  can  of  Tower  Brand  Paint  that  leaves  this 
shop,  anything  but  PERFECT. 

Here  are  the  steps  that  are  taken,  and  every  one  of  them  taken  under  the  sharp  searching  eye 
of  expert  chemists. 

«  FIRST — With  the  chemist  on  guard,  comes  the  mixing  step.  Sublimed  white  lead  and  zinc 
oxide,  50  per  cent  of  each  are  mixed  in  huge  tanks  with  pure  linseed  oil — enough  to  make  a  thick, 
paste  consistency.  Paddles  in  these  tanks  revolve  for  about  two  hours,  until  the  substance  is 
thoroughly  mixed. 

SECOND— Under  the  chemist’s  vigil  comes  the  grinding  step.  The  material  passes  by  gravity 
down  a  chute  into  the  hoppers,  which  are  directly  above  the  grinders— on  the  floor  below.  In  these 
hoppers  the  mixture  is  kept  in  motion  and  fed  slowly  into  the  grinding  stones.  The  grinding  stones 
break  up  each  particle  of  lead  and  zinc— and  thus  each  and  every  particle  of  the  pigment  is  com¬ 
pletely  incorporated  with  the  linseed  oil. 

THIRD— With  the  chemist  still  watching,  comes  the  FINAL  mixing  step.  From  the  grinders 
the  mixture  is  pumped  into  a  huge  storage  tank.  Here  the  remaining  portion  of  linseed  oil,  the  tur¬ 
pentine,  and  the  Japan  dryer  is  added.  And  here  we  have  the  whole  substance  of  pure  paint. 

FOURTH— With  the  chemist  and  paint  expert  busily  employed,  comes  the  tinting  and  shading 
step.  By  gravity  the  pure  paint  flows  from  the  storage  vat  into  the  tinting  and  shading  tanks.  In 
these  the  coloring  matter  is  added.  This  is  one  of  the  severe  tasks  for  the  paint  chemist  and  the 

fiaint  expert.  There  are  no  stated  formulas  as  to  how  much  coloring  matter  should  be  added— no 
aws  to  follow.  Good  judgment,  clear  eyesight,  and  long  experience  are  necessaryl  to  do  this  cor¬ 
rectly.  Only  one  man  in  thousands  can  do  this  work  correctly.  Our  paint  chemist  and  paint 
expert  are  the  two  men  who  have  succeeded  in  becoming  expert  out  of  the  thousands  who  have 
tried — and  who  have  failed  to  become  experts. 

FIFTH— The  filling  step,  with  the  chemist  standing  in  back  of  the  men.  The  moving  paint  (the 
paint  is  continually  being  stirred  from  the  first  step  to  the  last)  is  drawn  from  the  tinting  vats  by 
faucets,  through  screens,  into  cans. 

SIXTH— The  “capping”  step,  the  chemist  inspecting  each  can.  The  cans  of  paint  pass  along  on 
a  conveyor,  and  while  moving,  a  marvelous  machine  puts  on  the  covers,  and  solders  them  with  one  motion. 

SEVENTH— The  labeling  step,  the  chemist  making  sure  that  each  label  is  correct.  Labels  are  pasted  on  the  cans  bearing  both 
the  formula  and  tint  of  the  paint  that  is  contained  in  the  can. 

EIGHTH— The  buying  step  the  chemist  still  standing  guard— guaranteeing  your  satisfaction.  This  step  is  up  to  you.  You  have 
seen  this  wonderful  process,  you  have  seen  the  absolutely  pure  materials  that  go  into  the  paint,  you  have  seen  the  CHEMIST-THAT- 
CAN’T-BE-FOOLED,  as  he  watchesevery  step,  finally  you  have  for  your  protection  the  strong  binding  guarantee  that  Montgomery

HOW  YOU  CAN  EASILY  CHEAT 

YOURSELF 


In  the  first  place,  the  covering  capacity 
of  Tower  Brand  Paint  is  300  to  350  square 
feet.  This  means  that  one  gallon  of  paint 
will  cover  a  surface  of  these  dimensions 
with  two  coats.  Then  again,  the  mate¬ 
rials  are  of  so  strong  a  nature,  and  our 
process  so  complete,  that  we  guarantee 
this  paint  to  last  longer  than  any  known 
brand.  As  we  have  shown  you,  our 
chemists  guard  carefully  the  composition 
of  the  material,  while  a  practical  paint 
man  watches  over  its  tinting  and  coloring. 

You  know  that  our  paint  will  not  crack, 
peel,  blister  or  rub  off.  We  have  shown 
you  that  it  is  possible  for  us  to  guarantee 
this  paint  to  you  simply  because  of  the 
character  of  material  used  by  us,  and  our 
process  of  mixing.  One  hinges  upon  the 
other.  We  could  not  get  along  without 
the  zinc  oxide,  yet,  if  too  much  were 
added,  it  would  take  away  the  whole  value 
of  the  paint.  The  same  is  to  be  said  of 
each  of  the  other  ingredients. 

Then,  again,  even  if  our  surface  capacity  were  not  so  large, 
you  must  take  into  consideration  the  year  service.  Think  how 
long  tii'-  pure  product  will  last  Think  <>t  how  much  labor 
you  will  save.  This  labor  is  money  to  you,  and  when  we  save 
jou  lubor.  we  save  you  money.  This  alone  is  an  argument 
that  would  convince  the  most  exacting  of  persons.  Think  of 
how  our  pure  paint  is  composed,  and  how  it  will  adhere  to 
the  surface  Is  it  not  better  to  have  a  paint  which  will  be¬ 
come  u  part  of  the  wood  itself,  than  just  to  have  one  to 
plaster  on  n.s  you  would  so  much  mortar?  Tills  is  exactly 
what  happens  when  you  use  cheap  paint.  Perhaps  it  may 
look  good  the  first  season,  or  perhaps  it  may  even  hold  its 
color  up  to  flic  last,  but  It  can  not  jKxsslbly  hold  its  strength 
t*  Its  adhesiveness,  as  a  good  paint  will,  because  the  material 
Hint  performs  this  function  Ls  not  there.  The  particles  of 
(mi int  are  so  large  that  it  ls  impossible  for  you  to  do  any¬ 
thing  except  "paste"  them  on.  You  cannot  compare  cheaper 
bnuulM  with  our  1  0  0  per  cent  Pure  Paint.  The  sweetness  of 
low  price  never  compensates  for  the  bitterness  of  low  quality. 

But  Remember!  You  Must 
Some  Day  Repaint 
Your  Property 

When  you  find  this  necessary,  look  around  and  examine  all 
the  other  paints  I  bat  are  offered  j  u  Notice  the  difft  rent 
tests.  See  Just  how  far  one  gallon  of  cheap  paint  will  go. 
Ank  the  dealer  whether  the  Ingredients  are  pure  and  the 
process  the  rigid  one  and  then  decide.  You  surely  will  not 
put  paint  on  % •  >• »  property  that  will.  In  time,  spoil  Its  actual 
value;  neither  would  you  use  a  paint  that  lias  not  the  life- 
giving  properties  that  our  1  00  |x*r  cent  Hire  Paint  has.

Paint  without  a  label  on  the  can  deno¬ 
ting  its  contents,  is  usually  cheap  paint. 
You  can  buy  it  almost  anywhere.  Pure 
paint  is  composed  of  the  ingredients  that 
you  find  in  Tower  Brand  of  House  Paint 
and  nothing  else.  You  can  buy  100  per 
cent  pure  paint  in  very  few  places. 
Most  of  the  people  who  sell  100  per  cent 
pure  paint  want  a  fifth  to  a  half  more 
than  we  ask  you  for  Tower  Brand  House 
Paint. 

Now,  it  often  happens,  that  men  cheat 
themselves  by  painting  with  cheap  paint.  Let’s 
see  just  what  would  happen  il  you  bought  paint 
for  a  low  price — paint  that  you  were  not  abso¬ 
lutely  sure  about— and  painted  your  house. 

You  paint  your  house— it  looks  fine.  Just 
the  right  colors — neighbors  like  it— costs  a  little 
more  than  you  thought  it  would  (had  to  buy 
five  more  gallons  than  you  thought  you  would) 
—  but  on  the  whole,  a  very  good  looking  job. 
Mother  likes  it,  too. 

The  next  scene  is  2  years  later.  Snow  is  most 
all  gone,  ground  is  soft,  you  plough  through  the 
dirt  in  the  side  yard  and  look  at  the  house- 
first  time  you’d  thought  about  the  house  paint 
since  winter  began. 

“G-e-e-ee,”  you  softly  exclaim  to  yourself  (the 
whole  side  of  the  house  is  peeling  as  if  it  were 
just  getting  over  scarlet  fever) — “what  in  the 
wor— Say,  Mother !!  ” — Ma  hustles  down  the  back 
steps  and  joins  you  in  your  survey  of  the 
house.  You  both  of  you  look  at  your  sorry 
looking  house — paint  cracked  and  peeling  off. 
Little  Jimmie  comes  running  out  and  mashes  a 
big,  dried,  bubble  of  paint  right  below  the 
kitchen  window.  Then  you  get  good  and  mad, 
right  clean  through.  You  have  a  right  to,  be 
cause  You  Have  Cheated  Yourself  by  Buying  Cheap 
Paint ! ! 

You  didn’t  know  thaC  when  you  bought  the  paint — but 
no-w,  what  are  you  going  to  do.  There  is  only  one  thing  you 
can  do.  That's  to  scrape  ofY  the  old  paint  (an  expensive 
aiul  tedious  job,  when  you  ought  to  be  taking  the  time  to  pre¬ 
pare  for  spring  planting),  and  paint  the  house  again.  And. 
if  you're  a  wise  man,  you’ll  find  out  why  that  paint  cracked 
in  such  a  short  time,  and  what  paint  won’t  crack  or  peel, 
but  will  wear  down  and  wear  down — giving  you  service  all 
tlie  time — just  like  tho  sole  of  a  good  shoe.  Now.  if  you 
don't  know  these  tilings,  we'll  tell  you.  Here  is  how  you 
cheated  yourself — how  you  can  easily  cheat  yourself  on  the 
paint  question  if  you  don’t  watch  out — and  how  you  can  avoid 
cheating  yourself  in  the;  future: 

Cheap  paint  is  not  only  made  of  cheap  and  inferior  com 
position,  and  substitute  pigments,  together  with  adulterated 
oils.  ben/Jne  and  water,  but  it  is  also  lacking  in  method 
of  manufacture.  Fine  grinding,  thorough  mixing  by  power¬ 
ful  machinery  and  the  close  supervision  of  the  expert  paint 
chemist  are  necessary  in  good  paint.  Because  of  the 
lack  of  these  things,  poor  paint  will  crack  and  scale,  and 
nothing  on  eartli  will  prevent  it.  One  hundred  per  cent 
pure  paint  must  be  made  of  the  materials  and  by  the 
formula  that  we  show  you  on  the  preceding  page,  which  is 
the  result  of  nearly  a  century  of  research  and  chemical 
investigating,  and  Ls  based  on  the  very  highest  authority 
known  to  science.  This  Ls  the  only  formula  that  will  stand 
all  weather  testa,  the  kind  you  find  in  our  Tower  Brand 
House  paint,  and  which  is  standard.  You  can  be  safe  in 
inlying  tills  paint,  because  Montgomery  Ward  &  Co.  guar¬ 
antees  it  to  he  100%  pure  paint.  Besides,  Tower  Brand 
House  Paint  costs  less  than  other  pure  paints  on  tho  market

Of  course  you  do.  Read  tlie  guarantee  again. 

Two  Reasons  Why  You  Pain! 

Tho  first  and  main  reason  for  using  paint  is  to  protect 
proport y.  Structural  material,  whether  wood  or  metal,  un¬ 
less  protected  from  the  elements  will  quickly  decay.  Wood 
will  rot,  metals  will  rust.  A  coat  of  paint  Is  a  coat  of 
armor-  and  moro.  It  protects  wood  from  tho  onslaughts 
of  weather  and  also  by  being  absorbed  Into  tlie  wood  pre 
vents  rot  and  decay.  By  properly  protecting  your  build 
lngs  with  paint,  they  will  last  Indefinitely.  To  do  this 
you  must  have  a  good  paint.  You  must  not  only  consider 
the  cost  of  tlie  paint  Itself,  but  also  the  labor  in  putting  it 
on  and  the  service  it  gives.  Tlie  most  important  fact  Is. 
to  see  that  you  get  a  point  that  does  not  peel,  blister,  or 
rub  off.  as  this  means  a  big  expense  the  next  time  you 
paint. 

Tho  second  reason  is  to  beautify  your  buildings.  This  not 

only  increases  the  value  and  appearance  of  your  property, 
but  gratifies  the  noble  instinct  c*f  civilized  man  for  beauty. 
Pleasant  and  beautiful  surroundings  generate  a  feeling  of 
content  that  makes  life  worth  living.  Again,  you  may  wish 
to  sell  tlie  property  at  some  future  time,  and  a  good  job 
of  painting  will  greatly  increase  the  value.  It  means  half 
the  sale,  and  at  a  price  far  In  advance  of  wliat  you  would 
get  otherwise. 


Don’t  be  deceived  when  some  one  tells 
you  he  can  sell  you  a  paint  that  is  cheaper 
than  100  per  cent  pure  paint.  Y'ou  must 
not  only  take  into  consideration  the  price 
per  gallon,  but  also  how  much  service 
you  can  get  per  gallon.  Do  you  get  300 
to  350  square  feet  of  surface  out  of  a 
gallon  of  commou,  cheap  paint  ?  Our 
pure  paint  is  guaranteed  to  cover  this 
amount  of  surface. 

What  does  this  mean  to  you?  Do  you  take  Into  consider¬ 
ation  the  fact  that  our  paint  i3  composed  of  materials  that 
are  tlie  standard  of  the  market,  while  the  cheap  paints  are 
composed  of  materials,  tlie  composition  of  which  are  not  good 
enough  for  you  to  know?  Some  of  the  cheap  paints  contain 
r'  'vhich  Is  the  oiily  tiling  the  high  cost  <  f  living  has  not 
affected.  If  you  buy  a  gallon  of  cheap  paint,  you  no  doubt 
get  one  gallon,  but  do  you  get  one  gallon  of  pure  paint  ma¬ 
terial— do  you  get  a  full  gallon  of  surface — that  is.  in  com¬ 
parison  to  our  pure  paint,  and  lastly,  do  you  get  a  gallon 
of  sendee? 

Now.  just  for  the  sake  of  argument,  we  w!ll  oppose  that 
the  cheaper  paint  did  have  the  covering  capacity  that  our 
pure  paint  lias,  would  there  still  be  cause  for  y  u  to  use  the 
cheap  paint?  No  wise  man  ls  going  to  risk  putting  a  cheap 
paint  on  his  property,  for  once  this  paint  has  worn  off.  which 
it  does  very  quickly,  tho  surface  is  exposed  to  tlie  weather. 
In  a  very  short  time  he  will  discover  that  ills  property  has 
begun  to  rot  and  wear  away,  and  when  this  happens,  it  is 
not  long  before  the  property  must  all  l>e  repaired.  Just  think 
what  it  means,  then,  to  use  our  100  per  cent  pure  paint, 
which  protects  tho  surface  for  years. 

Estimate  the  Amount  oi 
Paint  you  Need 

Add  the  number  of  feet  front  and  rear  to  the  number  of 
feet  in  length  (on  each  side).  Multiply  the  total  by  the 
height  in  feet  and  this  will  give  tlie  total  number  of  square 
feet  of  surface.  Then  divide  by  3  00  and  the  result  is  the 
number  of  gallons.  One  gallon  of  Montgomery  Ward  &  Co.'s 
Tower  Brand  Mixed  Paint  will  cover  from  3  0O  to  350 
square  feet,  two  coats,  or  about  COO  feet,  one  coat. 

Here  is  an  example: 

Front  .  20  feet 

Bear  .  20  feet 

Sido  .  30  feet 

Sido  . 30  feet 

Total  . 100 

Multiply  by  height .  18 

Divide  by  . 300  1800  square  feet 

About  0  gallons 

This  rule  will  vary  a  trifle,  owing  to  tho  condition  of  the 
wood.  If  it  has  lieen  painted  once  or  if  the  surface  is 
smooth  and  hard,  less  than  Hie  above  quantity  will  do.  If 
tlie  building  is  new  and  the  lumber  lias  never  been  painted, 
a  slightly  greater  amount  will  oe  needed. 

Weight  of  Paints 

If  you  order  merchandl.se  to  the  total  weight  of  100  lbs. 
or  more  you  secure  advantage  of  the  hundred  pound  rate. 
As  you  doubtless  know,  it  cost9  just  as  much  to  ship  2  5 
pounds  by  freight  as  it  does  100  pounds.  Estimate  the 
total  weight  of  the  paints  you  order  from  this  table,  then 
fill  out  your  shipment  to  100  pounds  with  groceries  or  other 
merchandise.

PREVENTS  WET  AMD1  DRY  ROT— PR ESER V ES  THE  SHINGLES 
Stain  the  shinalex  on  your  house 
and  you  accomplish  two  things.  First 
you  so  thoroughly  protect  your  roof 
from  rot  and  decay  that  it  will  last 
twice  as  long.  Second,  you  improve 
appearance  of  your  home  at  least 


lOO  Per  cent. 

To  accomplish  either  of  these  is 
worth  a  good  deal,  yet  you  can  attain 
both  for  a  trifling  amount. 

This  stain  is  prepared  from  a 
formula  that  has  been  proved  sci¬ 
entifically  correct.  This  formula  is 
the  result  of  a  long  series  of  tests. 
It  was  our  aim  to  make  the  very  best 
shingle  stain  possible  to  produce  and 
in  this  preparation  you  are  without 
question  offered  It.  The  colors  are  rich 
and  they  will  last.  The  price  Is  so  low 
that  you  cannot  afford  not  to  protect 


and  beautify  your  roof. 

You  may  feel  that  it  is  best  to  hire  a  professional  painter  to  apply  our  paints,  but  It  Is  certain  that 
you  or  any  member  of  your  family  can  apply  our  shingle  stains.  No  experience  is  necessary. 

The  sliingles  may  either  be  dipped  or  the  stain  may  be  applied  with  a  brush. 

These  shingle  stains  are  the  correct  thing  to  use  on  the  bungalows  that  are  now  so  popular.  The 
rough  wood  quickly  absorbs  the  stain  and  you  secure  that  rustic  effect  which  is  so  pleasing. 

CREOSOTE  is  known  and  acknowledged  to  be  the  best  preservative  for  wood  of  all  kinds.  All  the 

railroads  are  using  it  on  their  timbers.  Our  Shingle  Stain  is  made  with  creosote  oil  and  does  e\  ../thing 
that  creosote  will  do.  In  addition  it  tints  the  wood,  giving  it  a  soft  pleasing  inuJn.  m  stain  con¬ 
tains  no  poisonous  ingredients  that  will  dissolve  In  water.  One  gallon  will  cover  10O  square  feet,  two 
coats,  when  aonlied  with  a  brush,  or  2V£  gallons  will  cover  about  1  °no  shingles  two-thirds  of  their 
length.  If  dipped.  You  will  find  samples  of  the  ten  shades  on  opposite  page.

These  varnish  stains  should  not  be  thiuned.  They  should  be  used  just  as  they  come  in  the 
can.  Over  old  work  of  a  darker  shade  it  is  sometimes  necessary  to  apply  two  or  more 
coats,  and  for  all  light  shades,  such  as  oak,  antique  oak  and  mahogany,  use  188-1-2  ground

Diamond  ^Floor  Varnish

Think  for  a  moment  of  the  weal  that  a  floor  varnish  receives.  At  every  step 
tho  hard,  steel  shod  heel  of  a  nan’s  shoe  strikes  a  ninety  pound  blow.  Furni¬ 
ture  is  scraped  and  dragged  back  and  forth  over  it.  The  floor  is  often  scrubbed. 
Small  particles  of  sand  arc  dropp-d  and  ground  into  ft. 

Think  how  good  a  varnish  mus'  be  to  withstand  this  everyday  use  and  abuse. 

We  make  special  mention  of  ir  Diamond  "W”  Floor  Varnish,  because  after 
numerous  experiments  we  have  firfected  a  varnish  that  it  will  be  economy  to 
use  on  any  floor  in  your  houso.  We  put  our  reputation  back  of  this  varnish  and 
guarantee  it. 

Will  Withstaad  the  Hardest  Wear 

you  could  possibly  give  It,  without  breaking  the  surface  or  marring  the  finish. 
You  can  dent  tho  wood,  but  you*  cannot  break,  bltstcr  or  peel  the  varnish.  You 
can  allow  water  to  stand  for  24  hours  on  this  varnish,  and  it  will  still  retain 
the  name  finish  as  when  first  appjiod.  Such  is  tho  floor  varnish  you  have  wanted, 
and  such  is  the  varnish  wo  now  offer  you  under  our  D/iamond  W  Brand.  Retail

IF  AFTER  you  secure  a  dress  or  suit  you  grow  tired  of  it  you 
can  easily  discard  it  and  secure  another.  But  when  you  give  your 
house  a  careful  painting  with  good  paint  the  job  is  done  and  out 
of  the  way  for  several  years. 

Therefore  plan  your  painting  carefully.  Before  finally  deciding 
on  the  paint  for  your  house  go  oiff  and  look  at  it  from  all  angles. 
Picture  it,  in  your  mind,  painjfcd  in  different  shades.  If  it 
is  in  the  country,  look  at  the  snrouD  dings.  As,  for  example,  to 
paint  a  house  with  no  trees  arofyd  it,  a  vivid  red  would  make

Art  Finishes  make  new  furniture  out  of  old  at  a 
very  small  cost.  They  can  be  used  satisfactorily 
for  every  kind  of  furniture  and  wood  work,  floors, 
halls,  picture  frames  and  mouldings,  doors,  win¬ 
dow  frames,  etc.  Mission  Art  Finishes  do  not  raise 
the  grain  of  the  wood.  For  elegance  of  effect  and 
beauty  of  tone  they  are  unsurpassed. 

You  Have  Nine  Attractive  Shades  to  Select  From 

Mission  Art  Finishes  are  sold  in  the  various  shades  shown  on  this 
page.  Almost  any  effect  can  he  produced  in  different  woods  by  properly 
following  directions.  The  addition  of  a  small  quantity  of  Black  Flemish 
to  any  other  Mission  Art  Finish  will  deepen  and  enrich  the  tone  to  suit 
the  user.  If  lighter  shades  are  desired,  thin  with  Benzine  or  a  small 
amount  of  Turpentine  until  the  correct  effect  is  obtained.  This  selection 
of  Mission  Art  Fin  ish  has  been  made  with  a  view  to  obtaining  the  most 
beautiful  and  desirable  results  in  home  decoration  and  interior  finishing. 
HOME  DECORATION  COSTS  LITTLE.  700  to  1000  square  feet  can  be 
covered  by  one  gallon  of  Mission  Art  Finish.  Much  depends  on  the 
texture  of  the  wood.  This  estimate  is  a  conservative  average.  Extensive 
home  decoration  is  therefore  possible  at  a  very  small  cost. 

THEY  ARE  DURABLE

it  an  eye-sore.  When  a  house  stands 
alone'  try  to  make  it  blend  nearly  as  possible  with  the  background.  In  painting  in  town  always  take  into 
considpration  the  houses  on  either  side.  If  nearby  houses  are  sombre,  then  paint  your  house  with  bright 
colors  and  make  it  stand  out.  If  other  houses  are  bright,  then  select  for  yours  a  harmonious  combination 
that  will  bring  out  its  individuality.  But  above  all  give  the  matter  thought  and  study.  Select  a  combination 
that  will  always  prove  attractive  and  satisfactory  to  you— one  you  will  not  grow  tired  of. 

YOU  CAN  DO  YOUR  OWN  PAINTING  AND  DECORATING 

You  can  do  the  work  yourself  if  yon  want  to  and  have  a  perfectly  satisfactory  job.  True,  it 
requires  some  knack,  but  after  all  it’s  mostly  a  question  of  common  sense,  and  with  reasonable  care  you 
can  paint  your  own  p'remises  and  produce  results  that  will  be  almost  up  to  the  professional  standaid. 
But  don’t  despise  the  professional  painter.  lie  has  the  knack  and  will  do  a  good  job  every  time.  lie  will  save 
paint,  spread  it  on  evenly,  and  do  it  much  more  quickly  than  you  can,  but,  as  we  say,  you  can  do  it  yourself, 
and  we  feel  sure  you  will  be  thoroughly  satisfied  with  the  results.  Thousands  of  our  customers  are  buying 
their  paint  from  us  and  painting  their  houses,  barns,  ice  houses  and  tool  sheds  in  the  most  economical  manner. 


What  to  Do 


To 


[lily  before  applying 
taking  out  the  entire  head, 
p  into  another  vessel.  Then 
i  the  can  until  all  is  of 
gradually  pour  back  the 


Ahvays  stir  the  paint  tliori 
do  this  properly  open  the  can 
Pour  the  oil  accumulated  at  th 
stir  up  the  remaining  paste  p 
the  same  paste-like  consistency,  thei 
oil  stirring  the  mass  constantly. 

After  the  first  coat  has  dried,  a  couple  of  days  putty  all 
nail  holes,  cracks,  etc. 

Give  all  knots  or  sappy  parts  a  coat  of  orange  shellac. 

For  the  priming,  or  first  coat,  reduce  the  first  coat  Avith 
strictly  pure  raw  linseed  oil  in  the  proportion  of  one  part  oil 
to  four  parts  paint  for  outside  Avork.  For  inside  work  re¬ 
duce  Avith  pure  turpentine  in  the  proportion  of  one  part  of 
turpentine  to  eight  parts  of  paint. 

Brush  out  Avell  and  let  it  dry  thoroughly  before  applying 
the  second  coat.  AHoav  ten  days  or  two  Aveeks  for  drying. 

For  the  second  coat,  apply  the  paint  in  its  natural  thick¬ 
ness,  brushing  it  out  Avell.  If  too  thick  to  brush  Avell  thin 
with  a  little  turpentine. 


What  Not  to  Do 


Don’t  attempt  to  paint  durii|4  Avet  or  cold  weather.  The 
paint  av ill  scale  and  flake  if  yoiffldo.  Don’t  use  a  cheap  prim¬ 
ing  coat.  Satisfactory  rcsultsfpannot  be  obtained  unless  a 
primer  of  good  quality  is  used.  If  you  must  economize 
cheapen  the  finishing  coat. 

Don’t  use  too  many  colors  or  colors  that  are  too  striking. 
By  using  different  shades  of  the  same  color  you  will  obtain 
a  more  pleasing  effect. 

Don’t  use  anything  but  absolutely  pure  linseed  oil  and  tur¬ 
pentine  for  thinning.  We  guarantee  our  turpentine  and  oils 
to  he  absolutely  pure. 

Don’t  use  old  or  dirty  brushes  if  you  Avant  a  first-class  job. 
It  pays  to  buy  a  good  new  brush  for  important  work. 

Don’t  choose  your  colors  Avitliout  first  carefully  consider¬ 
ing  the  effects  that  Avill  be  produced  by  the  different  color 
combinations. 

Don’t  overlook  the  fact  that  the  paint  must  be  thoroughly 
stirred  from  the  bottom  before  applying.  Otherwise  the  up¬ 
per  part  of  the  can  Avill  be  too  thin  and  the  lower  part  too 
thick. 


Don’t  hurry  your  painting.  Give  each  coat  plenty  of  time 
to  dry  before  applying  the  next  one. 

Don’t  neglect  to  brush  house  paints  out  thin  and  to  put 
enamels  on  very  thick. 

Don’t  use  anything  but  the  best  paint— M.  W.  &  Co.’s 
Tower  Brand.  It  wears  longer  and  better,  covers  more  sur¬ 
face  and  is  therefore  cheaper  in  the  end.

serves  new  Linoleum  or  oil  cloth  and  restores  old,  is  not  like  floor

can  apply  it  and  It  will  dry  over  night. 

It  makes  floor  covering  twice  as  easy  to  clean,  because  it  mops 
easily  and  Is  ulossy  without  being  sticky. 

If  your  linoleum  or  oil  cloth  is  dulled  in  color  and  the  pattern  is 
worn  nearly  away,  you  can  make  It  like  new  at  small  cost  by  applying 
Ward's  Linoleum  Lustre,  or  If  new,  preserve  color  and  pattern  and  add 
to  the  wearing  power  of  the  floor  covering  so  It  will  last  almost  in¬

We  are  now  manufacturing  in  our  laboratory  a  finer  qual¬ 
ity  of  Shellac  than  we  have  ever  handled  before.  It  is  a 

6hellac  that  we  can  most  sincerely  recommend.  It  is  guar¬ 

anteed  absolutely  pur©  and  maufactured  solely  from  the  finest 
grades  of  Imported  Gum  Shellacs  and  specially  Denatured 

Alcohol.  The  Alcohol  is  190  per  cent  proof,  a  far  better 
grade  than  is  found  in  most  of  the  Spirit  Varnishes  on  the 
market. 

WARD’S  WHITE  SHELLAC  is  manufactured  from  Pure 

Bone-Dry  Bleached  Shellac,  which,  being  absolutely  free 
from  moisture,  insures  a  varnish  that  will  last  and  preserve 
its  color. 

WARD’S  ORANGE  SHELLAC  is  very  fine  and  light  in 
color,  and  is  absolutely  free  from  the  sediment  and  ilirt  so 
often  found  in  various  brands  of  Orange  Shellac  Varnish. 

One  gallon  will  cover  300  square  feet,  one  coat.  We 

carry  in  stock  gallon,  half-gallon  and  quart  sizes,  and  call 
your  special  attention  to  the  low  prices.

dip  the  rubbing  felt  into  the  oil.  then  into

HIGH  GRADE 

VARNISHES 


HIGH  GRADE 

VARNISHES 

OUR  VARNISH  DEPARTMENT  is  now  under  the  direct  super¬ 
vision  of  our  chief  chemist,  insuring  varnishes  of  merit  and  uni¬ 
formity.  Our  prices  show  us  a  very  small  per  cent  of  profit,  and 
quality  considered,  we  are  giving  the  best  value  in  the  country. 

WE  HAVE  NOW  SECURED  the  same  uniformity,  the  same  high, 
unsurpassed  standard  in  our  varnishes,  that  has  so  long  characterized 
our  paints.

YOU  CANNOT  SECURE  VARNISHES  ANYWHERE  that  are  any 
purer,  any  more  carefully  made,  than  those  we  offer  you.  Give; 

| them  a  test  and  you  will  find  that  they  will  wear  as  well  or  better 
than  varnishes  for  which  you  have  paid  from  5  0  cents  to  one  dol¬ 
lar  a  gallon  more. 

COMPARE  PRICES  and  you  will  see  that  you  can  secure  nearly 
two  gallons  of  varnish  here  for  what  a  single  gallon  will  cost  you 
over  the  dealers’  counter. 

In  the  following  list  will  be  found  varnishes  suitable  for  all  pur¬ 
poses  for  either  new  or  old  work.  It  will  pay  you  to  carefully  se¬ 
lect  the  one  varnish  that  is  best  suited  for  the  work  you  have  in 
hand. 

GENERAL  DIRECTIONS 

To  obtain  a  polished  finish,  the  varnish  must  first  be  rubbed,  then  it 
must  be  allowed  to  stand  nut  less  than  2  4  hours,  then  polished  with 
Furniture  Polish.  Apply  the  polish  with  very  soft  cotton  waste  or 
cheese  cloth. 

Rubbing  is  done  with  rubbing  felt  and  fine  pumice  stone,  using  either 
water  or  oil;  dip  the  rubbing  felt  lightly  in  the  water  or  rubbing  oil, 
then  dip  the  moist  felt  in  the  pumice  stone  and  rub  the  surface  up  and 
down  with  the  grain  of  the  wood.  A  smoother  or  more  velvety  dull 
rubbed  finish  can  be  obtained  by  using  the  rubbing  oil  instead  of  water. 
HOW  TO  FINISH  NEW  WORK 

OPEN  GRAIN  WOODS,  SUCH  AS  OAK,  ASH,  ETC.,  must  be  filled  with  Paste  Filler.  You  will  find  our  Hardwood  Paste  Filler 
described  on  another  page.  This  filler  must  be  given  not  less  than  24  hours  to  dry  before  any  varnish  is  applied.  For  close  grain  woods 
such  as  pine,  maple,  cypress,  etc.,  apply  first  a  coat  of  liquid  wood  filler  which  you  will  find  described  on  another  page.  Allow  at  least 
36  hours  to  dry,  after  which  apply  the  varnish  in  regular  manner  and  follow  directions  regarding  particular  varnishes  used  as  to  drying, 
rubbing,  etc. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  REFINISHING  OLD  WORK 

See  that  the  work  is  perfectly  clean  and  free  from  any  grease  or  dirt  before  finishing  and  then  lightly  sandpaper  the  surface  to  be 
refinished.  To  obtain  a  nice,  full  lustre  the  varnish  used  should  not  be  a  Rubbing  or  Polishing  varnish,  unless  a  polished  finish  is  desired. 


NOTE  THE  CAP  ON  THIS  CAN 

The  varnish  can  illustrated  above  shows  the  new  patent  cap  we  are 
using.  It  entirely  does  away  with  corks,  plugs,  etc.  It  protects  the 
contents  while  in  use,  and  if  only  part  of  the  contents  is  used  that 
remaining  in  the  can  can  be  kept  without  danger  of  evaporation 


Building  Varnishes 

Exterior 

Right  here,  in  the  making  of  building  var¬ 
nishes,  the  maker  displays  his  rarest  art. 
Here  he  must  attain  varnish  that  will  give 
a  finish  of  clear,  mirror  like  beauty,  and 
with  this  fine  finish  he  must  combine  great 
wearing  qualities,  for  building  varnishes  are 
subjected  to  hard  wear.  They  must  stand  up 
under  this  hard  wear  and  remain  attractive 
for  years. 

No  line  of  Building  Varnishes  has  met 
with  greater  success,  has  stood  up  better  un¬ 
der  a  thousand  trying  tests,  has  given  more 
universal  satisfaction,  than  those  put  out  over 
the  name  of  Montgomery  Ward  &  Co.  Try 

them;  your  satisfaction  will  be  as  great,  as 
genuine,  as  that  which  has  been  expressed 
by  so  many  others.

Diamond  ^J^FloorVamish 


One  Gallon  Covers  250  Square  Feet  Two  Coats 

Think  for  a  moment  of  the  wear  that  a  floor  varnish  receives.  At  every  step  the  hard,  steel  shod  heel  of 
a  man’s  shoe  strikes  a  ninety  pound  blow.  Furniture  is  scraped  and  dragged  back  and  forth  over  it.  The 
floor  is  often  scrubbed.  Small  particles  of  sand  are  dropped  and  ground  into  it. 

Think  how  good  a  varnish  must  be  to  withstand  this  everyday  use  and  abuse. 

We  make  special  mention  of  our  Diamond  “W”  Floor  Varnish,  because  after  numerous  experiments 
we  have  perfected  a  varnish  that  it  will  be  economy  to  use  on  any  floor  in  your  house.  We  put  our  repu¬ 
tation  back  of  this  varnish  and  guarantee  it 

WILL  WITHSTAND  THE  HARDEST  WEAR 

you  could  possibly  give  it,  without  breaking  the  surface  or  marring  the  finish.  You  can  dent  the  wood,  but 
you  cannot  break,  blister  or  peel  the  varnish.  You  can  allow  water  to  stand  for  24  hours  on  this  varnish 
and  it  will  still  retain  the  same  finish  as  when  first  applied.  Such  is  the  floor  varnish  you  have  wanted, 
and  such  is  the  varnish  we  offer  you  under  our  Diamond  W  Brand.  Retail  value,  $2.50  per  gallon.

CONCRETE  AND  CEMENT  COATING 

An  artistic  finish  and  dampness  proof  coating,  particularly  adapted  for  all  kinds  of 
exterior  and  interior  Concrete  and  Cement  Work,  Stucco  Houses,  Cement  Bridges,  Brick,  Stone  or 
Plaster  Houses  and  other  surfaces  where  a  flat  or  dull  finish  is  desired.  Also  basement  walls, 
floors  and  all  places  subject  to  dampness. 

It  produces  a  uniform,  natural,  flat,  durable  finish,  prevents  the  penetra- 

mine,  as  it  prevents  suction.  Dries  in  tion  of  moisture  and  is  not  affected  by  the  action  of  Alkali  and  Acid  which  attacks  the  pig¬ 
ments  of  ordinary  paints.  The  composition  is  such  that  it  dries  very  hard,  penetrates,  combines 
and  becomes  a  part  of  the  concrete  or  other  surface  on  which  it  is  used. 

This  paint  comes  ready  mixed  and  in  proper  consistency  for  use.  However, 
if  thinning  is  necessary  reduce  with  turpentine.  Use  an  ordinary  large  paint  brush  and  apply 
freely  enough  to  fill  all  pores  and  depressions  of  the  surface.  One  gallon  will  cover  150  to  200  square 
feet  one  coat.  The  best  results  are  obtained  by  applying  two  coats.  It  is  made  in  white  also  in 
the  following  12  shades  shown  on  our  regular  house  paint  color  card.

You  Cannot  Secure  Better  Oils  Than  Ours 


Realizing  the  importance  to  the  automobile  owner  of  a  satisfactory  oil  for  use  in  his  machine,  we 
instructed  our  chief  chemist  to  make  a  special  study  of  automobile  oils  and  to  spare  no  expense  in 
perfecting  oils  that  would  meet  with  the  approval  of  the  motorist.  In  his  analytical  work  he  has  had 
the  benefit  of  the  knowledge  of  chemists  who  make  a  specialty  of  oils  and  also  the  advantage  of  practical 
tests  on  many  different  cars,  including  automobile  trucks,  so  that  in  offering  the  following  oils  we  be¬ 
lieve  that  they  will  afford  the  highest  degree  of  lubrication  and  are  confident  they  will  give  entire 
satisfaction.

Underground  Gasoline  System 

Complete  Outfit 

If  you  are  a  user  of  gasoline  you  need 
one  of  these  systems.  The  tank  is  in¬ 
tended  to  set  outside  the  building  any 
distance  up  to  20  feet,  or  any  greater 
distance  for  which  additional  pipe  could 
be  added.  The  pump  can  be  placed  in¬ 
side  the  building  and  the  spout,  having 
a  hose  attachment,  the  gasolene  can  be 
pumped  directly  into  any  receptacle. 
THE  PUMP  is  double  acting,  giving  a 
continuous  flow,  very  powerful  and  made 
entirely  of  brass.  Has  %  in.  solid  brass 
ball  valves,  outer  cylinder  2  in.  diame¬ 
ter,  inner  cylinder  lYs  in.,  both  made 
of  18 -gauge  brass.  Pump  can  be  de¬ 
tached  at  base,  making  it  easy  to  clean 
and  to  use  for  other  purposes.  All  brass 
shut-off  6pout  to  prevent  dripping. 

THE  TANK  has  a  capacity  of  6  5 
gallons  and  is  made  of  No.  18  gauge 
galvanized  steel,  the  best  W9  can  buy. 
Heads  and  6eams  are  riveted  and  sol¬ 
dered.  The  filler  pipe  is  3  ft.  long,  2 
in.  diameter,  and  extends  above  the 
ground.  To  the  special  cap  on  fill  pipe 
is  attached  a  hasp,  also  a  staple,  bo 
that  a  padlock  can  be  used  to  prevent 
tampering.  Inside  filler  pipe  is  a  small 
inner  pipe  to  allow  the  air  to  pass  out 
while  the  pipe  is  being  filled.  A  small 
ventilator  in  the  filler  pipe  cap  relieves 
any  vacuum  caused  by  drawing  off  the 
oil.  Inside  filler  pipe  is  also  a  strainer

PRICES  FOR  PURE  PAINT  VARY 

We  Guarantee  the  Prices  Quoted  in 
this  Book  Until  the  Fall  of  1912 

Flax  is  now  selling  for  $2.40  or  thereabouts.  From 
flax  seed  we  get  linseed  oil.  Linseed  oil  is  one  of  the 
most  important  constituents  of  pure  paint.  As  long  as 
the  price  of  flax  seed  remains  so  high  we  will  necessarily 
have  to  keep  pure  paint  at  the  game  price  because  under 
no  consideration  will  we  sacrifice  the  quality  of  our  lin¬ 
seed-oil  paints — and  substitute  anything  else  for  linseed 
oil. 


HOW  LONG  WILL  YOUR  HOUSE  LIVE  ? 

SUPPOSE  you  said  to  yourself,  after  you  had  built  a  house,  “I  guess  I 
won’t  paint  the  house,  it  costs  too  much.”  Of  course  you  would  never 
say  that,  because  everybody  knows  that  exposed  wood  and  iron  must  be 
protected  with  paint  for  economy’s  sake.  But  just  suppose  that  you  did,  in  a  very 
few  years  at  the  most  your  house  would  be  rapidly  falling  to  pieces,  wouldn’t  it  ? 


If  farmers  in  the  United  States  should  be  attracted 
by  the  high  prices  of  flax  and  start  raising  it,  the  Amer¬ 
ican  crop  would  be  greater — and  the  prices  of  pure  paint 
of  course  would  gq  down.  If  there  is  a  greater  crop  of 
flax  this  fall  than  there  wa9  last,  we  will  be  able  to 
put  down  the  price  a  few  points. 

At  any  rate  we  guarantee  thd  prices  in  this  book  until 
next  fall  and  then  if  therq  is  a  big  crop  of  flax  we  will 
make  the  prices  even  lower.  Of  course  it  may  be  neces¬ 
sary  to  raise  the  prices  *a  bit  if  flax  is  very  scarce. 


But,  suppose  you  said  to  yourself  (and  it’s  odd  how  many  people  insist  on 
saying  this,)  “I’ll  paint  my  house,  but  I’ll  pay  just  as  little  for  it  as  I  possibly  can.” '  (Like 
the  story  of  the  farmer  that  tried  to  economize  by  putting  sawdust  in  his  horse’s  feed,  and  the 
horse  died.)  The  first  thing  you  would  know,  the  cheap  paint  would  he  cracking,  and 
chalking  and  sticking  out  in  bubbles.  And  then  you  would  sadly  remember  that  the  cheap 
paint  cost  you  as  much  as  pure  paint  because  it  takes  about  a  gallon  and  a  half  of  adulterated 
paint  to  do  the  work  of  a  gallon  of  pure  paint. 


Paints  this  house  outside  two  full  eoats 
in  the  colors  shown.  For  $451.60  we 
furnish  the  material  to  build  this  house.  This 
includes  everything  except  lime,  stone,  cement  and  brick. 


Now,  we’re  going  to  stop  supposing-.  This  book  shows  you  something  that  you 
must  do — yes,  must  do,  if  you  want  your  house  to  “live”  longer  than  you  or  your  children, 
or  the  children  of  your  children  will  live.  This  book  shows  you  what  you  must  do  to  keep 
your  house  from  “dying” — from  falling  to  pieces,  prematurely.  This  book  brings  to 

you  the  knowledge  of.  and  The  Opportunity  to  BUY — Tower  Brand  Paint!!— A  Paint  That  is  so  Superior  that  we 
can  guarantee  it  stronger  than  ANY  OTHER  Paint  Manufacturer  can  POSSIBLY  guarantee  HIS  Paint — a  paint  so 
perfect — 100  per  cent  perfect — and  withal  so  inexpensive  (less  than  most  cheap  paints  cost)  that  your  father 
would  have  been  astounded — even  as  you  are  astounded — at  the  tremendous  value-giving,  money-6aving  paint  oppor¬ 
tunity  that  this  book  brings  to  you. 


And  although  it  is  Montgomery  Ward  &  Co.  (that  has  never  knowingly  broken  a  promise  in  its  4 1  years  of 
business)  that  stands  back  of  Tower  Brand  paint,  we  will  make  you  a  proposition  in  case  you  are  not  fully  ac¬ 
quainted  with  our  Square  Deal  methods  as  our  two  million  customers  are: — if  you  don’t  care  to  send  us  the  order 
right  now  for  all  the  paint  for  your  house  send  us  an  order  for  One  Gallon — a  half  gallon — Anything — only  a  quart 
if  you  wish — but  if  you  never  buy  another  drop  of  paint  as  long  as  you  live,  get  acquainted  with  To-wer  Brand 
Paint  and  Montgomery  Ward  &.  Co. — AT  ONCE!!!  Tower  Brand  Barn  Paint  is  best  for  your  barn.
